Sofar — Private Jet Charter (White Plains (HPN))

Sofar is an FAA Part 135 charter operator whose empty leg flights are listed on SkyAccess, where they show up as one-way charter options out of the New York area. Sofar describes itself as a boutique operator, and its empty leg charter inventory comes from aircraft repositioning between trips.

Sofar is based in the New York area, operating out of Westchester. The most common empty legs and repositioning flights connect the New York region with Florida, New England, the Midwest, and other points where aircraft need to return or stage for the next trip.

As an FAA Part 135 operator, Sofar flies under the federal commercial-charter rules covering operational control, maintenance, and crew duty limits. The aircraft and crews flying an empty leg are the same ones used for its full-fare charters.

An empty leg is a flight already scheduled to reposition, so the route and date are fixed and the value comes from the aircraft flying anyway. Search SkyAccess for Sofar empty legs to find current one-way charter options out of the New York area.
